In the wake of the pandemic, it is important to explore remote nutrition education programs during the pre- and postnatal period. This is the second phase of a bigger project, where a 6-week intensive remotely delivered nutrition and health education program called the PREPARE program will be piloted. Prepare stands for "Perinatal Remote Education for Pandemic Resilience", and it is a nutrition and health education program meant for pregnant and lactating women aimed at improving maternal and infant dietary diversity, maternal health literacy and increasing COVID-19 awareness. One hundred women will be selected from a pool of 233 women who completed a baseline survey last year. Fifty of them will receive the intervention and the other 50 will receive a delayed intervention.
